Ignoring the coordinated development and the natural environment carrying capacity plight caught the traditional development model, emphasizing the natural environment and the economy to adapt to the pursuit of harmony between man and nature, sustainable development become a wise choice, eco-design of the built environment is a human realization important tool for sustainable development. Sustainable eco-design of the built environment and the long-term goal of the current interests combine to maintain maximum coordination with the natural environment, not only become the reality of human needs, while also considering the needs of the human potential. Ecological construction and environmental protection around the significance of in-depth discussion of the needle eco-building for sustainable development thinking and practice of environmental design, environmental design proposed ecological architecture reflects the theme of sustainable development, while recycling is designed to achieve low carbon, environmentally friendly eco-building environment design approach.

Ecological Construction

Constructions in Dong inhabit houses respond to the cosmopolitan ecological thought “Man and nature live in harmony” with landscape of simplicity, nature and unity of heaven and humanity. It is not only Chinese nation’s cultural treasure but also a distinguished one in the art of architectural world which forms going through long-term choice and elimination of nature and human society and includes many reasonable ecological construction experience. This paper summarizes its ecological construction experience by researching traditional houses of Dong inhabit villages in Sanjiang, Guangxi to provide guidance for local architectural creation and sustainable development of villages.

ABSTRACT In accordance with international protocols and directions, the APEC Energy Working Group has concentrated on constraining operational energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in cities across the Asia Pacific, especially from the widespread consumption of fossil fuels. In addition to economy level policies and recognising the different characteristics within the region, APEC has sought to take action at the town/city level via the Low-Carbon Model Town (LCMT) project, including the development of self-assessment tools and indicator systems. However, the “low carbon” landscape is changing. There is increasing recognition of embodied carbon, accompanied by the emergence of methods for its measurement, while the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group has recently highlighted the significance of consumption-based carbon. Similarly, the Greenhouse Gas Protocol for Cities (GPC) is likely to extend its ambit from Scope 1 GHG emissions, derived from energy use within a city boundaries, and Scope 2 emissions from grid-supplied electricity, heating and / or cooling, to Scope 3 emissions derived from materials and goods produced outside the boundaries of a city but associated with construction within that city. After describing these emerging approaches and the current landscape, the paper examines the significance and implications of these changes for APEC approaches, especially in relation to the LCMT project, its indicators and the varying characteristics of towns and cities within the Asia-Pacific region. Special attention is given to the built environment, which is known to be a major contributor to operational and embodied emissions. Consistent with the theme of the Asia-Pacific Energy Sustainable Development Forum covering “sustainable development of energy and the city,” a case is put forward for the current APEC approach to be extended to encompass both embodied and consumption-based emissions.

Any Lesson from the History of Sustainable Development? Have we still got time for sustainability and reasonable application of ideas of sustainable development? It has been just over twenty years since the Brundtland Commission Report but, taken as an axiological term; sustainable development resonates with older historical horizons. At the heart of a long running history we are beginning to articulate more or less sustaining relationships between man and nature. We have described the (human) needs in the environmental, economic and social dimension of sustainable development to show some amazing shift in perception of sustainable development from local to global level. We are convinced that historical lesson of sustainable development shows there is no more time for sustainability, but time for SOStainability. Our proposed S-O-S in SOStainability means Save Our Sustainability! SOStainability represents the need to end the compromise between economic development and natural life supporting systems.

The starting point for the reflections were a range of issues bordering philosophy, morality, economy and law, regarding the rational management of natural resources and protection of the natural environment, as well as the regulation and forming of peoples’ attitudes and behaviours in relation to the natural environment, and the setting of legal boundaries for those behaviours and sanctions for crossing them. The state of the natural environment has a very strong influence on the fulfilment of existential human needs. Humans strive for satisfactory life of appropriate quality, and often have to make choices between various goods. Unfortunately, ecological properties are very often treated last of all in the decision-making hierarchy, and are usually considered inferior to, for example, material prosperity or social comfort. Treating the ecological properties as such, often results in them going unnoticed overall, and very soon leads to permanent and negative changes that directly affect human life and the environment, as well as having a negative effect on health. Therefore, such extraordinarily essential conditions for choosing and fulfilling ecological needs as regards first-class existential needs that have a vital influence on the quality of life and ecological awareness, are based chiefly on understanding the rules of sustainable development. Should the development of civilisation be ruled by economy, or should the basis of that development be protection and maintenance of natural environmental resources? Or maybe the most sensible option is to balance economic, social and ecological aims? The problem pinpointed in this way highlights the importance in life of global community, and may for years induce consideration and reflection.

Loess Plateau region has the severest problem of The Water Loss and Soil Erosion, not only in China, but around the world as well. Due to severe situation of soil erosion, the natural environment was badly damaged in this region and the economy was also deeply influenced. This paper analyses the present situation of soil erosion and controlling measure for erosion in Loess Plateau region, and concludes some valuable experience in managing small watershed of Loess Plateau region. Concluding、analyzing、advancing and extending these successful experiences will exert an important and directive significance for the ecological construction and sustainable development in China.

Abstract Sustainable development is raised as the theme of the article which is then analyzed based on the value of local wisdom with three main pillars, namely economic, environmental, and social aspects. Manik Ring Cucupu, Tattwa, Susila, Upacara, and Tri Hita Karana are the values of local wisdom used in organizing sustainable development in Taman Harmoni. The purpose of writing this article is to know the existence of economic, environmental, and social aspects that are the pillars of sustainable development in the Taman Harmoni tourist area based on the values of local wisdom. The method used is Qualitative Descriptive with data collection techniques through direct observation, interviews, and literature studies. The result of this writing is sustainable development in the economic aspect prioritizes the natural sustainability of the environment which is assumed to be a “container” as well as the value of local wisdom Manik Ring Cucupu which perceives the built environment with a natural environment such as a fetus in the womb of a mother; Sustainable development in environmental aspects is planned based on the value of local wisdom, namely Tattwa (philosophy), Susila (ethics), and Upacara (religious rituals); Sustainable development in environmental aspects, dividing the area of Taman Harmoni into three areas namely Parahyangan, Pawongan, and Palemahan in accordance with the teaching values of Tri Hita Karana.
